Built for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) dispensing layouts where a larger hose I.D. is preferred in a shorter reach, the Coxreels SHL-N-525-DF-BBX DEF Heavy Duty Spring Rewind Hose Reel provides controlled hose storage for 3/4" hose I.D., 25 ft hose capacity, and 300 PSI maximum working pressure. DEF is used in many modern diesel vehicles and equipment to support emissions-control systems, so reel construction and fluid-contact components matter. This DEF-SH Series reel uses a stainless steel 90° full-flow NPT swivel and Viton seals to support compatible DEF handling while keeping the swivel accessible for seal maintenance.
The spring rewind mechanism retracts hose after use to help reduce floor clutter, hose damage, and cleanup time in fleet shops, service bays, dispensing stations, and mobile service vehicles. Coxreels’ Super Hub dual axle support system improves reel stability and reduces vibration during use, while the adjustable guide arm gives installers flexibility for wall, floor, ceiling, vehicle, and overhead mounting positions. Because this model is supplied less hose, it is a practical choice when the buyer wants to select a specific compatible hose for the fluid, fitting, and routing requirements of the installation.

FAQs:
- Q: What does less hose mean for the SHL-N-525-DF-BBX?
A: It means the reel is supplied without hose installed. The buyer must provide a compatible hose separately, making sure the hose I.D., O.D., length, pressure rating, fittings, and fluid compatibility match the DEF dispensing system. - Q: What hose size is this reel built to handle?
A: This model is listed for 3/4" hose I.D. with 25 ft capacity and a maximum hose O.D. of 1-1/8". Do not exceed the listed hose O.D. if you need the reel to hold the full rated length. - Q: Can this reel be mounted on a service truck?
A: Yes. The guide arm can be adjusted for vehicle mounting, and the Super Hub™ dual axle support system helps stabilize the reel during pull-out and rewind. Confirm mounting surface strength and hose routing before installation. - Q: Is this reel only for DEF?
A: The DEF-SH Series is equipped with DEF-focused components, including a stainless steel full-flow swivel and Viton seals. Coxreels notes that less-hose models can also be used for air, water, or oil when the separately selected hose and system requirements are compatible. - Q: Does the reel include a hose stop?
A: Coxreels lists an adjustable solid rubber hose stop among the series features. The dispensing hose itself is not included with this less-hose model.
